Title: radiography training manual
Post by: grantime on Mar 13, 2007, 11:06
Several years ago I had a copy of book written primarily for radiographers about radiation safety.  It had a series of particularly graphic photos of what happens if you put a Ir192 source in your hip pocket.  Does anyone remember the title and perhaps know where to get a copy.  Mine disapeared many years ago. Seeing pictures someones ass falling off tends to sharpen the concentration of people on radiography job briefing.
